The 0.19.4 release also broke marking posts as read in Sync for Lemmy. Although this isn’t really something we consider a blocker, it’s still worth mentioning, as there are still a lot of Sync for Lemmy users out there that haven’t noticed this issue yet if they’re only active on Lemmy.World. Over the last 2 weeks we’ve had nearly 5k active Sync for Lemmy users . This is unfortunately something that will break during the upgrade, as the API has changed in upstream Lemmy.
Wait, what?! I’m on sync right meow and haven’t noticed anything off about it. But i also don’t have any other source of news or social media to compare to lol.
The most shocking revelation tho is that I haven’t paid a dime to use synce and it’s been my only means of accessing Lemmy since I annexed from reddit. There is an option for premium but there is nothing about the free version that I would feel I’m missing out on something enough to pay for it.
When the dev announced he’d be porting Sync to Lemmy, he mentioned that he’d have to raise the premium price to cover costs. I gladly paid to support him, but that was under the assumption he wouldn’t go AWOL for months with outstanding bugs.
Ok that makes way more sense than I originally understood. I totally agree.
